ABSTRACT

A protective bag is provided. The protective bag may be made out of a temperature insulating and a waterproof material. The protective bag may include a front wall, a rear wall, a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a top portion and a bottom portion. An opening is formed at the top portion leading into an internal compartment. A waterproof sealer may be attached to the material at the opening and may releasably open and close the opening. The protective bag may be used while at the beach to secure and protect valuables.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a protective bag and, more particularly, to a protective bag that can be secured to any beach chair or object.

When going to or at the beach, a person may be carrying a phone, a wallet, keys and other valuables. Certain valuables, such as phones and leather wallets, may be destroyed if they come into contact with water. Further, wallets, phones and keys may be easily lost or may be covered in sand and become dirty.

As can be seen, there is a need for a protective device that secures valuables while going to or at the beach.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.

The present invention includes a water resistant insulated carryall that is easily attachable to beach chairs or other objects. A user may place their belongings, such as phones, wallets and keys, within the water resistant insulated bag while the user is at a beach. Therefore, the present invention may protect the valuables from sand, water and prevents the user from misplacing the valuables. Further, the present invention may be directly attached to a beach chair and may thereby be easily in site.

Referring to FIGS. 1 through 3, the present invention includes a protective carrying bag 20. The protective carrying bag 20 may be made out of a temperature insulating and a waterproof material 1. The protective carrying bag 20 may include a front wall, a rear wall, a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a top portion and a bottom portion. An opening is formed at the top portion leading into an internal compartment 7. A waterproof sealer 3 may be attached to the material 1 at the opening and may releasably open and close the opening.

In certain embodiments, the present invention may include a sealing cover flap 9. The sealing cover flap 9 may be attached to the top portion and may fold over the opening and releasably attach to at least one of the front wall and the rear wall. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the flap 9 may fold over and attach to the front wall by a hook 4 and loop 5 fastener. Therefore, the user may fold the flap 9 over the opening to further protect the contents within the internal compartment 7. The present invention may further include at least one strap 18. The at least one strap 18 may be attached to the rear wall and may form a loop. The strap 18 may include a connector 2 that may releasably open and close the loop. In certain embodiments, the present invention may include two straps 18. A first strap 18 may be attached to a first side of the rear wall and a second strap 18 may be attached to a second side of the rear wall. The connector 2 may be a clip, snaps, ties and the like. Therefore a user may unclip the straps 18, wrap the straps 18 around an arm of a beach chair 30, and clip the clips back together to attach the protective carrying bag 20 to the beach chair 30.

In certain embodiments, the waterproof sealer 3 may include a zipper, ridge and channel connectors, or the like. In certain embodiments, the present invention may include an internal pocket 8 within the internal compartment 7. The internal pocket 8 may be small and may secure smaller items, such as makeup, money, keys, and the like. The internal pocket 8 may be opened and closed by a zipper. The inside pocket may secure the smaller items with the water resistant zipper.

The present invention may further include a carrying strap 6. The carrying strap 6 includes a first end attached to the first sidewall and a second end attached to the second sidewall. The carrying strap 6 may be detachable and adjustable in length. Therefore, the carrying strap 6 may be used to carry the protective carrying bag 20 over a user's shoulders. Alternatively, the strap 6 may be wrapped around a user's waist.

A method of using the present invention may include the following. A person would be able to use the present invention at the beach or at any type of event. The present invention may attach easily to a chair at the beach with adjustable straps for most size chairs or used as a pouch that can be carried with the extra adjustable strap on the shoulder or around the waist. A user's personal items such as a phone, keys, lipstick, sunscreen, and the like may be kept insulated and waterproof from the sun and sand. The present invention may keep your valuables close to the user for personal safety even while bringing a chair down to the water's edge, sporting event, concerts, and the like.
